Nearly all of us suffer from a pimple, whitehead or blackhead, when we are aged between 12 - 18 years, regardless of our sex, ethnic background or race.

Skin problems, or if we use the term "acne" loosely, is mostly found in teenagers and young adults in their 20s, but it is not unusual for people to experience problems in this area well into their 40s.
A large portion of skin problems can be handled by over-the-counter acne medication, or by using a specialized skincare range - like Dermaxime Problem Skin Range - but some people require systemic medication (taken orally) and / or prescription based topical treatments in the form of creams or lotions.
The occurrence of acne can be further noted as follows:
73 - 85% in people between 12 - 24 years of age 6 - 8% in people between 25 - 34 years of age 2 - 4% in people over 35 years of age
Although great results are obtained from non-medical and over-the-counter acne medication and specialized skincare products, like
Dermaxime Problem Skin Range, you may be one of the unlucky few that do not react positively enough to such treatments, and then prescription medication, in the form of pills and/or creams and lotions may be called for.
Although some people would discuss acne problems with their normal medical practitioner, we would recommend that you consult a skin specialist - a dermatologist - to look at your problem.
Some prescription medication, specifically some systemic medication, have some very negative side effects and must be closely monitored, so as not to cause liver damage and a range of other problems.
We have divided the pages dealing problem skin into various categories, which you can access by following the hyperlinks below.

Please note - we are not involved in plastic or cosmetic surgery, but offer these information pages for the benefit of our clients. Men and women are using cosmetic surgery more-and-more, not for vanity sake, as so some people believe, but to stay in the running in our fast paced lifestyles where health, vitality and youth is a valuable commodity, and where people often are judged (wrongly so) on how they look. |
